The New York Tribune has evidently be-
gun to fear that the slight put upon the
President by the Grand Army, at Wheel
ing, does not meet the appreciation of the
people in general. 1t now prints story
that the parading body marched around the
flag at the request of a subcommittee of the
local committee on arrangements, who re-
scented a refusal of the owner of the flag to
remove it. This is rather flimsy excuse,
but it is sufficient to show that, in the opin-
ion of their organ, the Grand Army men
were guilty of an act they ought to be
ashamed Of.

Randall and the Democratic Party.

From Ae Nei0 York Times (Illd.)
If the Democratic party as represented by
the national administration, stands for any
thing it is the reform of the civil service and the
reform of the tariff. Mr.. Randall in full con
troll OF the Pennsylvania Convention, entirely
ignores the former and so casts his illusions to
the latter as to deprive them Of any significance

The Future ofthe Grand Army.

The speeches of Fairchild, futile and
Foraker, the refusal to march under flag
upon which a portrait of the President APP
peared, at Wheeling, W. Va, and other
things of partisan character, have caused
the question to be seriously discussed
whether or not it is the purpose of the
Grand Army of the Republic to become a
partisan organization. There are certainly
indications that it is drifting in that direc-
ton, but they may not show correctly its
temper and spirit.
Gen. Black, Commissioner of Pensions,
stated day or two ago that of the 400, 900
members of the Grand Army he was salts
fled that respectable majority were Demo-
Gratis. He is a prominent member of the
organization. and is, therefore, in position
to speak of it intelligently. His opinion is
that the organization has been drawn
slightly away from its mornings by the
efforts of demagogues, who want to
control it for selfish purposes, but that the
great body of the members are true to the
pledges of the organization, which are that
it shall be non-partisan and shall have for
its aims the promotion of the interests of
the aged and disabled veterans and the rem
dering of assistance to the wives and chill
dren of ex-soldiers.
1t is possible, of course, that the men
who have succeeded in getting into the
places of prominence in the Grand Army
may make it a partisan body, but if they
do very large percentage of its members
will leave it, and it will cease to have the
influence it now has. Ever since it came into
existence its requests and petitions have been
readily granted by both of the great politi-
cal parties. 1t has only had to ask to re-
ceive. If, however, it changes from a
non-partisan to partisan organization it
will find it impossible to effect the objects
which called it into existence.
Doubtless at tire encampment at St Louis,
in October, some action will be taken to set
the organization right before the country
There will be cool, clear headed men there
who will insist that if the organization is to
maintain non-partisan character. the men
who are doing so much to bring it into dis
repute and wreck it shall be removed from
the places of responsibility There can be
no objection to the Grand Army as long as
it confines itself to its legitimate sphere of
action, but it becomes very Objectionable as
soon as it undertakes to play an important
political role while pretending to have moth
ing to do with politics.

Letecrs From The People.

Mr.. EDITOR In Il recent issue of
your paper your correspondent from
Mash Market incidentally referred to
the Dads in this vicinity. over which
wagons, carrying oysters to the stations
have passed. 1t is impossible for any
one who did not see them, or attempt
to pass over them, to even imagine the
condition they were in. The road lead
Ing from Jenkins Bridge to the POGO

one, and 1 presume, as much used us
any cross ROAD in the county, has been
absolutely impossible the past two
months, for any vehicle lighter than Il
large wagon With four mules. 1t has.
from necessity. been entirely abandoned
by all light vehicles, and of no more use
to the community generally than if
there were no road. On the opposite side
of this little peninsula, what is known
us the MesSongo side, the road has been
equally as had. Had it hot been for II
private road passing through woods,a and
very bad at that, which The owners Of
